The linked post is the last in a series of posts, the first of which has been linked here in the past. I recommend that anyone who reads the post shminux linked, also read the LW discussion of the post I just linked, as it seems to me that many of the arguments therein are addressed in a more than satisfactory manner. (In particular, I strongly endorse Jessica Taylor’s response, which is as of this writing the most highly upvoted comment on that page.)
As I mentioned there, Jessica was apparently pissed and uncharacteristically uncharitable in her reply. The upvote count in this case seems to reflect tribal affiliations more than anything.
